THIS! Oh, this is dead-on!
One of my favorite smokes early on was the Sancho Panza Double Maduro - especially the Quixote. For the money, they were (and still are) SO good ROTT. So I figured they MUST get better and better with age, right? Well, yes - to a point. After 2 years the flavor begins to decline dramatically. I ended up with a lot of "meh" smokes. If I had known the "fiver" time test, I'd have been much better off.
Insert witty comment here ...
